picture-perfect nation and soon to be Frances' favourite.
We are staying in Bern with our friend Therese, who prepares wonderful meals for us for the next week. Therese has worked in Calcutta with Mother Teresa and has been to Kamchatka, the Egyptian desert, Greenland, Spitzbergen, Tajikistan, North Korea and Burma (where we met).
